Informations about the package html-converter
bicpi's HtmlConverter library
HtmlConverter is a PHP library that provides easy HTML-to-Text conversion. This is useful, for example, for automatically creating plain text parts of HTML emails.
Usage
- Create converter
- Call
->convert($html)method - Enjoy returned plain text
SimpleConverter
The SimpleConverter works on every PHP enabled system by using PHP's strip_tags() function and putting some HTML
entity decoding on top.
LynxConverter
The LynxConverter works on every system with the lynx text browser package installed. The converted plain text
is equivalent to what you would see when opening the HTML in lynx. This is currently the most useful converter as
it provides the best results and includes all links as references.
Html2TextConverter
The Html2TextConverter works on every system with the html2text package installed. The converted plain text
is equivalent to what you would see when passing the HTML on the command line to the html2text command. The result
is quite nice but be aware that links will be removed. Hence, this should not be used for converting a whole web page
or marketing email. May be useful for small chunks of HTML code.
ChainConverter
The ChainConverter offers converter chaining so that the first appropriate converter will handle the conversion.
In the above example the conversion will be handled by the LynxConverter - provided that the lynx package is
available. If not, the SimpleConverter will be used as a fallback. This for instance would be useful when deploying
to a machine without lynx installed but a development machine without the package - e.g. Windows.
Running unit tests
